The
American people are once again, about to be denied the right to care for
our bodies the way we want and not managed by the big pharmaceutical companies.
The warning
about CODEX has been out there. I've been following this closely because
it will negatively impact tens of millions of us who use supplements and
don't run to the doctor for every little thing.

Over
the decades, Americans have discovered that alternative medicines work,
we don't want or need all these dangerous prescription drugs in our bodies
and yes, there are cures for more than
twenty types of cancer. Two books that everyone should read on this
critical subject: Murder by Injection by Eustace Mullins and World Without
Cancer by G. Edward Griffin. All of this has hit the big pharmaceutical
houses where it hurts: their multi-billion dollar profit margins.

If you
read Dr. Madeleine Cosman's last hard hitting column (Sustainable
Medicine + Sustainable Development = Duty to Die), you will fully
understand how CODEX isn't just some "uniformity" exercise, it is part
of a well thought out agenda to destroy our right to have access to vitamins
and supplements that will keep us healthy. This is about as serious as
it gets because tens of millions of US depend on the vitamin and supplement
industry as well as alternative healing methods to stay healthy. The information
below ties right in with the chilling documentation contained in Dr. Cosman's
column.

"Big
Pharma" won a major victory in Rome, Italy today. Vitamins and minerals,
for over-the-counter sale will be phased out, almost completely, in every
country on Planet Earth. The "German
Model" of health care will now be the law of the land - in every
land.

Below
is a press release from Diane Miller JD of the National Health Freedom
Coalition, detailing the action. Diane is in Rome at the meeting.

Minutes
ago the full Commission of Codex Alimentarius adopted in final form, the
Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements. This adoption
is the Step 8 adoption, the final stage of adoption for the international
Codex guidelines. The Codex Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements guidelines
are now official and no longer in draft form.

The
Commission, attended by over 85 of the 171 Codex countries, adopted the
guidelines by consensus method. There was brief discussion before adoption
taking in comments from a small number of countries and two NGOs.

Australia
requested adding the word "only" in Section 1.3 between the words "apply"
and "in". The sentence would then read "These guidelines apply only in
those jurisdictions where products defined in 2.1 are regulated as foods."

Australia's
comments were followed by request from Venezuela and Spain to clarify
the spanish translation.

Venezuela
was followed by China. China stated that every government in making decisions
about vitamins and minerals should take into account the dietary limitations
of their own countries, that governments can select vitamins and minerals
according to the customs and habits of their country. China also pointed
out that there should be definitions of the sources of vitamins.

Columbia
spoke up and commented that Vitamins and Minerals are intended for deficiencies
and are recommended for health reasons and said that there has to be no
exaggerated use of minerals.

Egypt
commented and offered a clarification saying that vitamin and minerals
can be considered if daily needs are not being met. After the countries
were heard, the Chairman recognized NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations).
National Health Federation (NHF) a world wide consumer organization with
NGO status at Codex was recognized to speak. Attorney Scott Tipps of NHF
stood and requested the guidelines not be adopted but rather be sent back
to committee for 3 important reasons. 1) According to Codex rules a "purpose"
statement must be part of all guidelines adopted and the Vitamin and Mineral
guidelines did not contain a purpose. Secondly, the guidelines did not
define vitamin and mineral and therefore it is unclear as to what is being
regulated. And lastly, he pointed out that the Chinese comments were substantive
and according to Codex rules on page 27 of the procedural manual, a substantive
amendment request should be addressed at the committee level. His comments
were heard.

The
NGO IADSA was then recognized. IADSA stressed the fact that the draft
guidelines should be adopted because they had been worked on in committee
for near 10 years and that valuable consensus had been reached in the
Bonn Germany committee meeting and the guidelines should now be passed.

After
all comments, the Chair, consulted with counsel to assess whether the
addition of the word "only" would change the meaning of the sentence.
After learning that it would not he consulted with Australia and Australia
repeated their request for amendment. The Chair recommended adoption of
the amendment and there was no dissent. Then the Chair recommended the
guidelines be adopted at Stage 8 in their final form and that China submit
their substantive amendment requests to the committee at their next meeting.
There was no further comment or dissent from any country and the guidelines
were adopted.

What
this means, in the United States, is that as soon as CAFTA (Central American
Free Trade Agreement) passes the House of Representatives (it has already
passed the Senate), the US government will be forced, by the terms of
that CAFTA agreement, to restrict vitamin and supplement sales in accordance
with the "German Model" of health care.

If and
when this happens, the hard won 1994 DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health
& Education Act) will be nullified, and the dismantling of the North American
supplement Industry will begin.

However,
it is not inevitable - the use of "supplements" and other "alternatives"
to conventional medicine regimens represents over fifty percent (50%)
of the total US health dollar spent annually. Eighty-eight percent (88%)
of US adults use an "alternative," and believe in them. Opposition is
already gearing up for the battle - (click

This
is a battle between "We the People," and the free world's biggest, and
worst, enemy - ever - "Big Pharma." Stay tuned...

Tim
Bolen - Consumer Advocate

This
"Millions of Health Freedom Fighters - Newsletter" is about the battle
between "Health and Medicine" on Planet Earth. Tim Bolen is an op/ed writer
with extensive knowledge of the activities of a subversive organization
calling itself the "quackbusters," and that organization's attempts to
suppress, and discredit, any, and all health modalities that compete with
the allopathic (MD) paradigm for consumer health dollars. The focus of
the newsletter is on the ongoing activities, battles, politics, and the
victories won by members of the "Health Freedom Movement" against the
"quackbusters." It details "who the quackbusters are, what they are, where
they are operating, when they appear, and how they operate - and how easy
it is to beat them..."

This
is what I have already done. I printed out the pdf files referenced below
and took them to my congress critter's office as I only live six miles
from her plush digs. I had a chat with her aide and made my position
crystal clear: We don't need this stinking CODEX system. We do
not want or need more globalization of any aspect of our lives or products
and services and any member of Congress who does nothing to stop this
is going to feel the wrath of the American people. I also gave a set to
the manager at my health food store and Whole Foods where I get my organic
food; they also carry vitamins and supplements. Both were grateful for
the packet.

I printed
out one set of the four pdf files below, placing Bolen's page first and
had fifty sets of all four files (combined) printed, front and back. I
sent them to my mother who lives in a rural retirement area. She took
half of them to the senior center and the other half to a club meeting.
Both places were happy to get them once mother explained what was going
on. These seniors depend on vitamins and supplements and not only do they
vote, they make lots of noise to their congress critters. I know it costs
a few bucks to make copies to hand out, but this is one fight we can't
lose. While it is a financial sacrifice to make copies and get them out,
the cost of losing our right to vitamins, supplements and alternative
medicine will be astronomical. Thank you for doing your part.

The
House of Representatives is set to vote on CAFTA as early as July 19,
2005. As with NAFTA , GATT , the mis named 'Patriot Act,' and other massive
pieces of legislation, it's doubt ful more than a half dozen members of
Congress will have read the 765 pages of text
for CAFTA, yet they plan to saddle us with yet another destructive
trade treaty that will further gut our critical job bases. Enough is enough.
